To open or close the sliding door, press and release one
of two PWR DOOR switches. There is one mounted
on
the wall, just in front of the sliding door; the other is the
rear-most switch on
the side of the overhead console.
(If you have the compact overhead console, this switch
is located between the reading lamps.) The sliding door must be unlocked
for the power sliding
door to operate. The ignition does not have to be on and
the key does
not have to be in the ignition. To prevent
accidental operation
of the sliding door, disable the
power sliding door by placing
the power sliding door
enable switch in the
OFF position.
When the key is
in the ignition in the RUN position, the
power sliding door will only open if the transaxle is in
PARK
(P). The transaxle does not have to be in PARK
(P) to close the door. If the enable switch is ON and the
power sliding door
is open or in the process of closing
when you shift out of PARK
(P), a tone will sound and
the power sliding door warning light on your instrument
panel will flash (see “Power Sliding Door Warning
Light” in the Index). This is a warning light that the
sliding door is not completely closed.

closing, the door will automatically reverse to the open

door, or stronger. The force of the closing door increases
significantly as the door approaches the latch position.

1. Make sure the door is in the closed position.
2. Turn the ignition off.
3. Remove the fuse marked TAIL from the fuse panel.
